The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 464: Jade Tree and Wind

Chapter 464: Handsome and elegant

But to be honest, why does he feel that his eldest son is becoming more and more petty...

Ning Feng was just thinking about it in his heart and didn't show it too much on his face. He just helped Chu Jinnian make the bed. After he lay down on the bed, he lowered the curtains, blew out the candles on the table, leaving only one in the corner, and then closed the door and left.

After Ning Feng left, Chu Jinnian stood up, took out the jade disk from the box beside him, held it in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he placed the jade disk beside his pillow. ——The next day, the morning light was dim.

"Good morning, Mr. Fan." Ban Qing was setting breakfast in the flower hall. When he saw Fan Wenxuan coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Good morning." Fan Wenxuan yawned loudly and rubbed his blue eyes.

Last night, or indeed the entire night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Because of anger, because of shame, and even more because of some worry.

He was worried that his cursing last night had been heard by Chu Jinnian, who had come to his yard late at night and wanted to cause trouble for him. He was worried that Chu Jinnian would become even more aggressive and would have a bunch of sinister tricks ready for him.

But there seemed to be no movement all night.

This made Fan Wenxuan even more worried.

He was worried that this was the dullness and calm before the storm, so when he woke up in the morning, he thought about it for a long time in the house, and then he came to Chu Jinzhou tremblingly to see if he, his student, could come forward to deal with his cold-faced brother who was obsessed with his younger brother.

But when I got here, there was no sign of Chu Jinzhou, not even Chu Jinnian.

"Where's the eldest master?" Fan Wenxuan looked around and asked, "Why is Jin Zhou nowhere to be seen?"

"Butler Chen Qifeng said that the eldest son took the third son out." Chu Jinzhou replied.

Went out? Fan Wenxuan was surprised.

Chu Jinnian would rush here from the capital every three months or so, riding at full speed all the way and was very tired.

Although he went to bed early last night, Fan Wenxuan felt that he probably didn't have much energy to go out for a stroll.

Besides, it was freezing cold and there wasn't anywhere to go outside.

The most important thing is that Chu Jinnian only took Chu Jinzhou out without taking him, and he didn't even inform him.

Hey, you Chu Jinnian, you are the one who comes back to pick on an old man like me, and now you are even showing off your disdain!

It's really too much, extremely too much!

Fan Wenxuan was extremely angry, but when he saw Ban Qing and Ning Feng beside him, the anger on his face was slightly suppressed.

I still have to maintain my dignity. As for that bastard Chu Jinnian...

Humph, if you don't want to take it, then don't take it. Who wants to go out with you two brothers? Fan Wenxuan was angry and sat down, picked up the tofu skin bun and started to eat it, and then drank a bowl of tofu meatball soup.

Seeing Fan Wenxuan so angry, Ning Feng felt a little sorry for him and advised, "The eldest master said that it would be better for Mr. Fan not to go to today's event."

"From what I see, it's probably because the eldest son is thinking about Mr. Fan."

It would be better if he didn't go? Fan Wenxuan almost forgot to chew the tofu skin bun in his mouth.

What is it that he'd better not go to? Could it be...

Chu Jinnian was angry after hearing his angry words last night. Has he gone out to find something that can make him unhappy? Fan Wenxuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine... - In the morning, as usual, he would sweep the yard and cook a delicious breakfast.

As he had been staying at home these days developing Ban Yue Xiang, and now that it had been completed, Zhuang Qingning planned to visit each workshop and ask Zhuang Jingye how many wheat seeds had been distributed, whether there were any left, and whether more needed to be prepared.

As soon as I opened the yard gate, I saw a carriage parked at the door.

Chu Jinnian was standing beside the carriage and looked up at her.

With a tall figure and a brocade robe, he stood facing the morning light, as if there was a layer of dazzling light on his body. When the breeze blew, a corner of his robe was lifted up by the wind, swaying in the wind, making the dazzling light even more lively.

Handsome and elegant is the first word that comes to Zhuang Qingning's mind.

Especially, next to the big Yushulinfeng, there is also a small Yushulinfeng standing, which looks like a pleasing painting no matter how you look at it.

"Master Chu? Jinzhou?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised by the appearance of Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou, "Why are you here?"

Instead, he smiled and said, "Banqing sent a message last night saying that Mr. Fan would not be giving lectures these days and would only let Qingsui and Mingli read books by themselves. I thought Jinzhou should be in Qingzhu Garden these days."

"It is precisely because Mr. Fan is not convenient to give lectures these days, and I am worried that Miss Sui and Mingli cannot fall behind in their studies. So after much thought, I decided to bring Jinzhou to class together for the time being." Chu Jinnian replied with a smile.

Zhuang Qingning was very surprised that Chu Jinnian came to teach Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Mingli.

After all, he was a high-ranking official in the capital. According to the current hierarchy, it was beneath his status to give lectures to a commoner. But remembering that Chu Jinnian usually showed great respect to Fan Wenxuan, and that Mr. Fan had ordered Banqing to deliver books last night, he was obviously very worried about his two students, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli. In order to avoid making the respected Mr. Fan too worried, Chu Jinnian was willing to come and give lectures for a few days, which was not a big deal.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Qingning felt that it made sense.

What's more, she happened to have something to ask Chu Jinnian, and since they happened to be at her house, she didn't have to visit Qingzhu Garden again.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Chu." Zhuang Qingning thanked him, welcomed the brothers Chu Jinnian and Chu Jinzhou into the courtyard, and poured them a cup of tea.

Then he told Zhuang Qingsui to call Zhuang Mingli so that the class could start earlier.

Zhuang Qingsui agreed, nodded and walked out.

"I'll go with you." Chu Jinzhou followed and said with a smile, "Brother just happened to bring some writing brushes, inkstones and inkstones from the capital. Leave two sets here and send the rest to Mingli."

"Okay." Zhuang Qingsui grinned, picked up the things with Chu Jinzhou, talked and laughed, and skipped to find Zhuang Mingli.

Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning watched Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Qingsui walk away, both of them shook their heads with smiles on their faces.

“This child…”

“This child…”

As soon as the words came out, the two people realized that they were saying the same thing, so they both stopped talking subconsciously, and then looked at each other, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master Chu."

"Miss Zhuang, you are too polite. I haven't thanked you for taking care of Jin Zhou and Mr. Fan these days." Chu Jinnian said, "Since you have to thank me, let's cancel each other out."

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke hesitantly, "Actually, there is something I would like to ask Lord Chu for a favor. This thank you is also a way to say thank you to Lord Chu in advance."

"Oh?" Chu Jinnian put down the teacup in his hand, "Miss Zhuang, please go ahead."
